Episodes not showing in podcast

Hi all,
I'm trying to add my podcast feed to iTunes. The feed validates and the resulting XML <i>looks</i> correct to my obviously flawed vision, but for some reason iTunes and also Shrook, another RSS reader I tried using just to make sure, are seemingly unable to recognize the enclosure tag. Shrook at least shows the episode with no content; iTunes doesn't even do that, it just says "There are no episodes in this podcast feed."
Here's the feed:
http://www.thecommononline.org/podcast/feed
And the line with the enclosure tag looks like this:
<code><enclosure url="http://www.thecommononline.org/sites/default/files/audio/11_samurai_code_quote_4 _3.mp3" length="415217" type="audio/mpeg" /></code>
I've compared this with the <a href="http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification">RSS specification</a> and it looks exactly right:
<code><enclosure url="http://www.scripting.com/mp3s/weatherReportSuite.mp3" length="12216320" type="audio/mpeg" /></code>
Could anyone please take a look at the feed and give me any idea why it wouldn't be showing up? Thank you profusely in advance, I've already lost too much sleep over this.
Michael

Roger, thanks very much for taking a look.
Yes, sorry, the <code></code> tags were my addition after the fact, thinking they were needed here.
So you're unable to see an enclosure tag in the feed? That makes sense, since iTunes and Shrook can't either. However, when I load the XML source in chrome I do indeed see the enclosure tag I pasted above. This is what's so confusing to me. It's as if the XML parser is stripping the enclosure tag from the document, yet it appears to me (and all the feed validators I run it through) to be perfectly correct.
Below I'm pasting the full contents of the <item> tag in my feed as I see it in Chrome:
<item>
<title>Audio Test</title>

List view not showing all podcasts

Guys, I have the annoying problem that podcast management by itunes and the podcast app are F'ed up.
Not too lobg ago I experienced my ipad greying out most podcasts that were downloaded and on my ipad, for no reason at all. it took me 2 days fiddling with settings and ended up having to set every sync to "on" and set donwloading to "all" and "keep all podcasts"
Now I'm experiencing the problem that the "list" view in podcast app, is not showing all podcasts, but the "thumbnail" view is (as far as I can tell...). Why is this and how can I fix it to make sure both views show everything?
I'm running iOS 7.0.6 and iTunes 11.1.5

Hey there sporry,
It sounds like your Podcasts app is not showing your library correctly in the List view but Thumbnail looks ok. I recommend the troubleshooting in the article named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
Install another app from the App Store
If your installed app won't open, download and install a free app that isn't on your iOS device. This should reset your Apple ID authorization.
Remember to use the same Apple ID that you used to download the app that you're having issues with.
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT1351 My I Pod is not showing the Podcasts I have downloaded on the library section in my itunes and also on the Ipod but is showing in the spome 3000 plus eposides in the sync section but will not show on Ipod or Library section even after syncing pleas

My Ipod is Classic is not showing any podcasts which I have downloads either on the library within itunes or on the ipod but is showing in the syncing section some 3300 plus podcasts but even after syncing they are noty showing on the library or on the Ipod am missing a step here as I have ticked all before syncing ??
Is this a software failure ?

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Single Podcast Episode Not Showing up in iTunes

The second episode of the ExactTarget Developer Podast is not showing up. This was originally related to a bad link which was subsequently fixed. Any idea of what is happening or how it can be fixed?
Podcast: ExactTarget Developer Podcast
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ExactTargetDeveloperPodcast

The media file URL for the missing episode has two spaces after the '.mp3' and before the double quotes; it seems possible that this is causing iTunes to be unable to read the URL.

Libsyn hosted podcast episodes not showing up.

I understand there may be a glitch happening but I've waited over a week now and it hasn't sorted itself out yet. My feed is fine in other podcast catchers but the episodes don't show in iTunes. Thanks for any help, guys.
Thank you!
-Mike
Podcast info below:
Your podcast, located at http://getoffmypodcast.libsyn.com/rss, has been approved. You should expect to see it on the iTunes Store within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/get-off-my-podcast-harrison/id873113856
You will be able to find your podcast through a search on the iTunes Store within the next two days.

Your feed works OK when subscribing in iTunes, but if you look at the iTunes Store in iTunes (as opposed to the web page version) you will see that it says '2 items' but is not showing any. This is a long-standing intermittent bug in the Store, not a problem with your feed, and I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do about it. It will probably sort itself out in a few days.

Itunes Store does not show lastest podcast but it downloaded

So i am pretty much and stuck on this issue. I have seen a couple of other post but no answers. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
The issue is the Itunes store does not show the last episode by it can still be downloaded and played.
The latest episode the Itunes store shows is 10/17/10 however it has been updated weekly.
Link to Itunes:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/langhorne-terrace-ministries/id258350667
Link to xml:
http://www.ltbc.org/podcasts/podcast.xml
I have used a couple of feed validaters and nothing seems wrong to me. Can anyone find an issue i have not looked at? Should i just try to contact Apple Support?
Thanks,
Bob

The iTunes Store caches the feed and checks periodically to see if it's been updated, so there is a delay before new episodes appear: however it's usually around 2 days, not almost a month. When subscribing the iTunes application reads the feed directly, so there is no delay.
Something is preventing the Store from updating the feed. This can happen if there is some oddity in the feed which throws the Store but not the application - usually a strange character of some sort. I looked for something like that in the first episode not to appear in the Store, but there is nothing odd there: you've used dots in the filename of your mp3 file and this isn't a good idea, but in fact doesn't seem to be causing a problem since some earlier episodes do the same thing. Ideally you shouldn't use dots in a URL.
The filename for the episode of 28 November includes the code %3A - this is the code for a colon - you definitely shouldn't have a colon in a filename. However since this episode comes later than several others which haven't appeared it may not be fatal - but it's not a good idea.
The other oddity is that you have two 'title' tags in the top section of your feed, both empty. You did have a title once, as it shows in the Store, but you've removed it at some point so that the feed is not titled. I don't know whether this is sufficient to prevent the Store from updating, but you should definitely replace the title - I see you are using Podcast Maker, so you need to enter the title there and republish - and see whether that helps.

Poscast episodes not showing up in iTunes store

We recently created a podcast feed through soundcloud which was approved by apple to be included in their podcast listings. It was approved earlier this week. But none of the podcast episodes are shoing up!
the rss feed link to the episodes is:
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:109788105/sounds.rss
The iTunes store link:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cacher-audio/id916473847?mt=2
One of the first episodes is
https://soundcloud.com/cacheraudio/cacher-audio-what-made-your-first-geocache-me morable-urban-style
This one finally showed up a few hours ago!
The second one has not:
https://soundcloud.com/cacheraudio/cacher-audo-what-was-memorable-about-your-fir st-geocache-into-the-woods
The others have not either:
https://soundcloud.com/cacheraudio/geotour
https://soundcloud.com/cacheraudio/cacher-audio-what-was-memorable-about-your-fi rst-geocache-we-are-family
Any suggestions as to what we need to do so that the other podcasts are listed?

All four episodes are showing in the Store and when subscribing. There have been intermittent problems with the Store updating from feeds recently - Apple are aware and their engineers are working on it - so that might have been the issue. At the moment everything is working OK.

New episodes not showing up in iTunes

I have added a new episode (item) to my feed and pinged iTunes and the new episode will not show up. The feed was validated and is in the proper format.
When people subscribe, the episode is available and workign fine.
Any way idea on how to get the episode to show up in the listing?
http://advisor.morningstar.com/rssdata/xml/getchoatepodcastdata.xml

Yeah. I checked on this yesterday and it seems to be broken still. I've starred at the code for quite a while and for the life of me can't see what's wrong.
My only other theories are:
1) it for whatever reason doesn't like the formating, no line breaks, just one long string...which in theory shouldn't make a difference...but this is Apple we're dealing with so who knows.
2) doing a search for Morningstar, brings up several podcasts...the one we're dealing with here "Morningstar Advisor" and another similarly named "MorningstarAdvisor". Both seem to have different content. Not sure if iTunes might be confused into thinking that this is a duplicate feed and is no longer updating it.

Podcast home page not showing all podcasts

Hello fellow podcasters!
I've successfully created a podcast, but am now in a bit of a jam. See, the home page of my podcast is now not showing all my podcasts.
Click here for my podcast:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=277495620
Now, I'm not sure if the home page only shows the most recent ones (If so, how do they define, "most recent"?) and moreover, if it only shows the most recent ones, how do I change it so it shows ALL of the podcasts created?
Appreciate any help you can provide me.
Sincerely,
Dennis Chin

iTunes Store shows the number of podcasts that are listed in the XML file. Some podcast-making programs and online services which create the XML file for you limit the number of episodes in the XML file - usually there is a setting somewhere to adjust this.

Image not showing for podcast

Hello, I can't seem to get my image to show in my podcast. Everything else checks out OK. prettygoodgig uses Wordpress and feedburner. The image shows on the feedburner site. It has been about 3 weeks and still does not show in itunes.
I have tried changing the name and location of the image but have had no luck.

iTunes is not using the Feedburner-generated feed (which appears to be what you quoted: I can't examine the original because you haven't quoted the URL): it is using the Wordpress-generated feed which presumably you also submitted to Feedburner. This feed does not contain an 'itunes:image' tag, which is why there is no image in the Store.
No amount of messing about with the Feedburner feed xml is going to affect the Store. You need to either a) add the appropriate tags to the Wordpress feed at the URL quoted above, or b) put a redirecting tag into that feed so that iTunes will transfer its attention from that to the Feedburner feed - the method is described here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
Be extremely careful if you choose option 'b': if you make an error in the URL for the feed you are redirecting to you will *not be able to get iTunes back to the correct feed*; and once you are using Feedburner's feed you will not be able to get at it to redirect away from it should you ever wish to do so in future. You should also make absolutely sure that the Feedburner feed is OK - check it at

Can't delete TV episode, not showing in itunes

A TV episode failed to complete downloading and is stuck in the TV episode list and I can't delete it. It's not showing up in itunes either to delete it from there. Also, I can't retry downloading it because it says "Download error. Tap to continue" or whatever and when I tap it it just hangs at preparing to download. It's been that way for weeks. Is there anyway to manually delete it from the phone itself?

Same issue. The error says not enough space for me -- go to settings to alter. Takes me to storage -- and the video is not listed as using storage!
I have 8 episodes stuck there -- some even play -- but none will swipe to delete. To test I did swipe to delete a video podcast -- no problem. Just my TV Shows seem to be permanent fixtures.
Connected to the computer to see what ITunes showed as installed TV Shows on the device -- nothing there...!!!

Itunes 10.1.1 will not show all podcast updates via Refresh function

I am having a problem with my podcast not refreshing on the itunes podcast page when a publish a new episode. If I use the "show all available episodes" function the episode appears but if I click refresh or the automatic update functions the podcast is not new seen.
This is only a problem with itunes 10.1.1 on OS X 10.6.5, the refresh function operates on my windows machine using the latest itunes version. I am awaiting a response from Libsyn where my podcasts are based but I was wandering if anyone is having any similar problems.
Once the podcast is selected as previously mentioned, download and play is normal

Thank you but alas the Store's check available downloads facility does not work for podcasts.
This problem has only appeared since the last itunes update to my knowledge. It may well be an rss related issue as it does not seem to effect other podcast's new episodes, though I cannot see why it should only be a problem on my Mac...and all subscribe settings are constant for all podcast issuers on both platforms...It might just be a hidden setting somewhere but I've tried everything

Podcast items not showing on Podcast Page in iTunes App

The Podcast items of the following Podcast are not showing when I choose to see the Podcast page within iTunes App: https://itunes.apple.com/ch/podcast/uzh-news-video-und-audio/id626789977?l=en
It's possible to subscribe to the podcast, and all items are being shown in the library as well, but not in iTunes Store View within iTunes App.
Please help : )
Devices: Desktop (iTunes 11.02), iPad 2 & iPhone 4S (both with latest iOS) - same problem everywhere

Hi Roger
Many thanks for your very fast answer! : )
In the meantime, we scanned the XMLfrom the RSS-Source (http://www.uzh.ch/news/topics/multimedia.rss) but we could not confirm any missing </image> closing tag.. : /
You're speaking of 21 instances of 'image' tags while there are only 20 items available in this feed - maybe the 21st might be the <itunes:image... />-tag (for the podcast art) which is not in need of a closing tag?
We know that iTunes doesn't like our image tag on item level. However, we do need this tags for other usage of this video-article-feed (f.ex. normal RSS feed subscribing) which is why we cannot remove it. But: do you know of any «trick» of specifically blocking that element for iTunes store since its troubling the latter so much?
Many thanks again, and our kindest regards to you and beautiful Londontown : )
Martina

Video podcasts not showing in podcast menu

my video podcasts are not showing up on ipod touch when I sync. They are on the ipod, cause when I search, they show up under podcast header (so they are not mis-labelled as music or anything), but they do not show up in the podcast menu. This applies to all my video podcasts. I think its a bug.

Wow, that does work. There they all are but I think this is annoying, that I have to go to a seperate app to see my video podcasts, as apposed to aduio podcasts, in the podcast menu, but at least I can see them. Thanks!
